Lost my planes

[Artur]

After installation of L049 ( P3D4.5 ) i have lost all my A2A planes ...
What to do ?

[Nick - A2A]

Hello Artur,

Which directory have you installed your Accu-Sim fleet to, and did the installer auto-detect the folder in question as your existing A2A add-on directory?

Thanks,
Nick

All my planes are installed outside of P3D, in one 'A2A' directory with subfolders for each plane.
With Connie i did same.
Now i have unistalled Connie, but still my war birds are invisible in P3D

[Nick - A2A]

Please could you let us know what directory the planes in question are installed to Artur? For example, the full file path for the aircraft.cfg file for one of the planes that's missing.

Also, could you answer my second question above: did the L-049 installer auto-detect your existing A2A add-ons directory or did you manually pick the installation folder?

Thanks,
Nick

Installer wanted to install Connie in C:\Users\Artur\Documents\Prepar3D v4 Add-ons\A2A, but i have changed that to E:\A2A\A2A\L049.
Full path to Spitfire is : E:\A2A\SimObjects\Airplanes\Wop3_Spitfire
P3D location is E:\Prepar3D V4

Thanks for the info Artur - if the L-049 installer didn't auto-detect the existing install location of your Accu-Sim add-ons, it sounds like you may be using an old version. Please can you let us know the file name of the installer and roughly when you downloaded it?

Downloaded yesterday from my account.
Installer name is L-049 P3Dv4 Academic ( 283.545 KB )

[Nick - A2A]

Okay, thanks - that's indeed the current installer. If your other A2A add-ons are installed to "E:\A2A", the installer for the Connie should automatically detect this file path and prevent you from manually changing it, as it's essential that all Accu-Sim planes are installed in a common directory.

When you installed your existing Accu-Sim add-ons to this location, did you use the same style of installer, and did you manually move or rename any folders?

Thanks,
Nick

Not sure but i think i have changed default location to E:\A2A.
Please guide me to recover my war birds, as those are most important for me, not Connie.
Tried delete P3D.cfg to let P3D rebuild that one, but no success.

Artur,

Please can you list the directories and files in your "E:\A2A" folder. You should have the following.

Nick, my directory tree is exactly as on ur picture

[Nick - A2A]

Okay, thanks. Next, please can you open this file with a text editor such as Notepad...

C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\add-ons.cfg

...and verify if there's an entry which corresponds to your A2A add-ons directory. If so, what's the exact path that it shows?
